The Future MBA brings together 100 ideas on how to rethink management education in order to embed sustainability. This book acts as a creative toolkit for individuals working in management education on how to design new and innovative products, services, and experiences for the business school community with a focus on sustainability. What if we took a moment to stand back and look at the bigger picture? What would the business school of the future look like? Rather than a roadmap, the 100 ideas presented in this book are meant to be a source of inspiration in responding to these questions. Some ideas could be put into practice tomorrow, some would require a complete reassessment of the way we view business education, and others are meant to encourage more ideas... and more action, to turn management education into a key player in moving the sustainability agenda forward.

Industry Reviews
"The Future MBA offers inspiring, yet practical, ideas to develop the responsible leaders of tomorrow. It is a must-read for all PRME signatories looking to transform management education, research and thought leadership globally, as well as any individual who is interested in contemplating the business degree of the future and gleaning inspiration for how we might make it a reality. "--Jonas Haertle, Head, PRME Secretariat, UN Global Compact Office
"Giselle Weybrecht's The Future MBA: 100 Ideas for Making Sustainability the Business of Business Education is one of the most interesting professional books I have read in a long time, and hugely enjoyable. The vast majority of authors take as a given the institutional and regulatory constraints within which business schools have been operating, some for over a century. Refreshingly, Weybrecht sees business schools as potential change agents for a better world. Weybrecht's new book is of interest not only to the business school community, but will be an eye-opener to many officials in government and international development agencies, who may discover new allies in their efforts to attain the UN's Sustainable Development Goals."--Guy Pfeffermann, CEO, Global Business School Network
"Giselle Weybrecht's new book is like a great brainstorming session: the good, provocative, ideas just keep coming. At Bard, we had the unique opportunity to be building, from the ground up, a new MBA in Sustainability in New York City at the very same time that Weybrecht was publishing her series behind The Future MBA. As a whole, the collection of short essays provides a comprehensive, holistic checklist for reinventing a graduate business education that can create positive social and environmental impact."--Eban Goodstein, Director, Bard MBA in Sustainability
"If we want to change how business is done, we need to think about how business is taught. The Future MBA envisions new approaches to business school curriculum and culture aimed at preparing students to be resilient and thoughtful sustainability leaders. Full of practical ideas that can be implemented by students and educators alike."--Katie Kross, Managing Director, Center for Energy, Development, and the Global Environment, Fuqua School of Business, Duke University
"In The Future MBA, Ms. Weybrecht redefines the boundaries of what is possible in business education, helping us to think beyond the long-standing customs and traditions of higher education. Read it and you'll come away believing, as I do, that business schools will not only change to survive, they will innovate to become vital engines of sustainable business and global prosperity."--Dan LeClair, Executive Vice President and Chief Strategy and Innovation Officer, AACSB
